Reviews

"""Solonche, an accomplished poet, employs various forms in this compilation, including haiku, prose poem, and free verse. The poems often imaginatively enter into the natural or material world via anthropomorphic similes . . . Many works have an aphoristic quality that recalls Zen koans, and they can be playfully amusing or even silly . . . A strong set of sympathetic but never sentimental observations."" -Kirkus Reviews ""These short poems are an extraordinary amalgam of wit, close observation, humor, and clear-seeing. Each one singles out and illuminates an ordinary moment-ordinary, that is, until the poet explodes into a miniature epiphany. Easy of access and frequently profound, J. R. Solonche's poems induce in me a state of delighted surprise."" -Chase Twichell is author of Horses Where the Answers Should Have Been: New and Selected Poems."
